    "Teacher, recently we discovered that the fishing boat Yongping is no longer berthed at our Tianjin port. At first, we thought that something happened to the Yongping when it went to sea, but later we investigated and found that someone was robbing us of our business."

    Tong Yuan found Liu Jin and reported to Liu Jin a new incident at Tianjin Port.

    "Someone is taking our business?"

    When Liu Jin heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said, "What's going on?"

    "It's like this. We have a steward named Wei Xiaoming here at Tianjin Port. He is currently only a second-level steward. At the same time, there are more than a dozen of Wei Xiaoming's villagers in Tianjin Port. And this Wei Xiaoming's hometown is a place called Weijiatun.  This place is only about 40 miles away from Tianjin."

    "At the same time, it is less than fifty miles away from Yongping Mansion. Weijiatun is also close to the sea, and it is located in a natural harbor. Therefore, after Wei Xiaoming returned to his village not long ago, he organized everyone to build a  The dock, and then pulled the Yongping over."

    "The Yongping is anchored here in Weijiatun. If we go to Yongping Mansion, we have dozens of miles left, which greatly saves time. Therefore, the Yongping has never docked in our Tianjin Port again."

    Tong Yuan explained the situation in great detail from beginning to end, and also took out a map to mark the location of Weijiatun.

    Liu Jin listened carefully, without any displeasure on his face.

    "This Wei Xiaoming is a talented person and has great vision."

    After listening carefully, Liu Jin couldn't help but smile and said, I have to say that Wei Xiaoming is very discerning and knows how to build docks and ports. If Weijiatun becomes prosperous in the future, just sitting in this Weijiatun port will be enough for generations to come.  , Ancestors have no worries about food and clothing for generations.

    "Teacher, this man is cheating, should we teach him a lesson? Moreover, Weijiatun has diverted our Tianjin Port business. With this Weijiatun as a starting point, there will be Lijiatun, Zhangjiatun, Liujiatun and so on in the future. Then we in Tianjin will  There will be no business at the port."

    Tong Yuan looked at Liu Jin and said.

    "This is not necessary. This is something that is bound to happen. As you said, even if there is no Weijiatun, there will be Liujiatun, Lijiatun and so on in the future. Our Ming Dynasty has thousands of miles of sea territory, and we must not let others  Is there a place to build a port?¡±

    Liu Jin smiled and shook his head, then thought for a while and said: "Actually, this is not a bad thing. Some people are building docks and repairing ports. This shows that there is such a demand, and it also shows that our efforts are not in vain. This navigation industry has a new goal."  Not a bad start.¡±

    "In the future, the main business of our Tianjin Port will still be ocean trade. These fishing boats can also be slowly allocated to other ports for berthing."

    ¡°Now in the entire Ming Dynasty, we are the only ones in Tianjin who can legitimately conduct overseas trade. This means that our Tianjin port is bound to become prosperous, and we don¡¯t have to worry about running out of business.¡±

    "But, mentor, this Wei Xiaoming is cheating. As a steward and employee of our Tianjin Port, he secretly takes away the business of our Tianjin Port. This cannot be justified in any case."

    Tong Yuan nodded, and then felt that Wei Xiaoming could not be let go so easily. He had nothing to say about building a port, attracting business, etc. But he should come to Tianjin Port to resign first, so there would be nothing to say.  Well, as an employee of Tianjin Port, he did such a thing. This is intolerable.

    "Let's do this. You go and have a good talk with him in person, and let him take the initiative to resign with his fellow villagers. Be careful when speaking, so that everyone can get to know each other and get together easily."

    Liu Jin nodded slightly, then thought about it and said.

    "Um."

    Tong Yuan nodded and agreed, then seemed to remember something and said: "Teacher, the recruitment of the third batch of students at Tianjin Maritime Academy will start soon."

    "I know, I'll go over and have a look later."

    After being reminded by Tong Yuan, Liu Jin felt that time passed so quickly. Tianjin Maritime College had already begun recruiting the third batch of colleges.

    The first batch of colleges have not yet left for Golden Continent, but the third batch of colleges has already started enrolling students. Time flies really fast.

    Liu Jin has put a lot of effort into Tianjin Maritime College, because Liu Jin knows that navigation not only requires qualified ships, but also qualified crews.

    So I spent a lot of money.Look around.

    "I guess I'm yearning for the outside world."

    Liu Jin smiled and said, Liu Jin was very happy to see everyone enthusiastically signing up. He looked at the crowd and listened to what these people were talking about.

    "Brother Liu, why don't you cut off your long hair?"

    "Why do you want to cut off your long hair? Don't you know that your body, hair and skin are protected by your parents and you don't dare to harm them?"

    "Brother Liu, you can't have long hair when you go to sea, because long hair is difficult to take care of, and it's easy to breed unclean things. The students at Tianjin Maritime University all have short hair, not to mention cutting this hair shorter.  That¡¯s it, it¡¯s not like you can become a monk and be worthy of your parents. Your thinking is too backward. You will definitely not be able to enter the Maritime Academy.¡±

    "Ah, is there such a thing?"

    "Otherwise, if you look at the people around you, no one has cut their hair short beforehand, especially those employees at Tianjin Port and Tianjin Cement Factory, who have even shaved their beards."

    "Brother Zhang, why didn't you tell me earlier? Where can I find scissors now?"

    "Brother Liu, there is a hair salon next to Tianjin Maritime University that specializes in hair cutting. You can go get a haircut now and shave off your beard. There is still time."

    "Okay, Brother Zhang, you must wait for me."

    ""

    Liu Jin couldn't help but laugh when he saw a man with long hair rushing to cut off his hair. Here in Tianjin, short hair is becoming more and more popular, and there are even people who specialize in cutting people's hair.  This is definitely a good thing. After touching his long hair, Liu Jin also thought about finding a time to cut it. It was too long, he was really not used to it, and he always felt awkward.

    "Everyone, everyone, this is Shen Yang from Sihai Trading Company. Our Sihang Trading Company has booked several ships at Tianjin Shipyard and needs hundreds of crew members. If you are successfully admitted to Tianjin Maritime College, you can come and get in touch.  Now, our Sihai Commercial Bank is willing to hire you in advance. From the moment you enter the Maritime Academy, our Sihai Commercial Bank is willing to pay you five taels of silver a month. After graduation, the basic monthly salary will not be less than ten taels of silver."

    "Everyone, everyone, our Sangong Commercial Bank is recruiting seamen. As long as you can enter the Maritime Academy and sign a contract with us, we are willing to provide you with a monthly payment of five taels of silver to cover your study expenses at the academy. After you successfully graduate, the basic monthly salary will not be less than  Ten taels of silver"

    Just when Liu Jin felt that his long hair was awkward, someone was holding a sign and shouting it while walking among the crowd, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

    "Oh my God~ As long as you enter the college, you can get a monthly salary of five taels of silver. After successfully graduating, you can get a monthly salary of ten taels of silver. This"

    After someone heard it, they opened their mouths wide and were very surprised.

    "It's strange, but Sihai Trading Company wants to recruit enough sailors in advance, so it gives you a monthly salary of five taels of silver. However, no one who can enter the academy cares about this mere five taels of silver a month."

    "Some people seem to know the market very well and rarely say anything without looking at it.

    Hearing what this person said, the people around him widened their eyes, and then they secretly clenched their fists, cheering themselves up, thinking that they must enter Tianjin Maritime Academy.

    ¡°Just after being recruited, someone will be willing to pay you five taels of silver a month just to sign you in advance.

    Five taels of silver per month is definitely a high income in this era. It is a figure that ordinary people dare not even think about. This makes many people's eyes red. When they look at the gate of the Maritime Academy, their eyes are filled with tears.  Zhongdu is full of infinite yearning and longing, as if this place is a holy land, and you have to enter even if you risk your life.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
